    Hey guys, just got a free 200ci longblock...:woohoo1: .
    I will be experimenting with the cylinder head. I am going to shave it down and bore out the valve seats. I have heard something about chevy valves fitting and them being quite larger than stock ford valves. Well, I'm going to try it. Let me know if you know which valves work. I will take pics but I won't start this project for another 2 weeks.


    Thanks,

    Jeff

    Thats great. make sure if you put bigger valves in port the exh runners out or you could hurt your preformace. good luck

    Keep in mind that all the porting in the world won't flow any better than the 1 barrel inlet on that head. The boys at Clifford will probably have some answers for you.

    True about the inlet. I just got ANOTHER cylinder head yesterday...this one I'm going to mess with the intake manifold, try to take it off or run 2 2bbls with three intake runners to each manifold. I'll also be doing a valve job for my friend's 67 mustang. As far as tech articles, I think I will write one...thanks for the idea. I'll keep yall updated. And thanks for the exhaust runner advice. I'll take care of that.
